Study Summary

Anxiety is the most common mental health problem in children and adolescents. This two-phased study will test the effects of an experimental computerized intervention aimed at reducing threat-based thinking (i.e., interpretation bias) in anxious youth. Participants in both the R61 (N=46) and R33 (N=72) trials will be youth ages 10 to 17 with a primary anxiety disorder (Separation, Social, Generalized). In the R61 trial, youth will be randomly assigned to receive 16 sessions over 4 weeks of either a personalized cognitive bias modification program for interpretation bias (CBM-I) or a computerized control condition (ICC). If CBM-I reduces interpretation bias significantly more than the ICC, the R33 trial will commence. In the R33, youth will be randomly assigned to either CBM-I or an equal amount of time in a cognitive restructuring intervention, which also aims to reduce threat-based thinking in anxiety. Please note that only the R61 phase of the trial has been completed and currently this record summary only reflects the R61 phase.

Primary Outcome

The WSAP-Y is a computerized assessment of interpretation bias in which youth indicate whether word-sentence pairings are related. This measure provides information about the degree to which youth evidence interpretation bias, as well as a behavioral (reaction time) index for bias endorsement. For the primary outcome of percent threat interpretations endorsed, the possible range is 0 (zero) to 100%. Higher percentage indicates more threat interpretation bias (i.e., the youth endorsed a higher pr
